Make sure you check in /var/qmail/users/assign and make sure that is
pointing to the correct place for your virtual domains and check that the
uid/gid is correct.

Subject: suddenly cannot receive email


Until I get this mess fixed, please cc responses to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sorry, but it is the only way I can receive email right now.

I seem to have done something to break my qmail.  Yesterday afternoon, I
added a virtual user in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains and put his
forwarding address in alias/.qmail-garnette-monte and added his domain to
rcpthosts then restarted.  I did not notice at the time (because I left work
right after that), but I have not received ANY email since I did that.  We
have a UNIX box running BSDi 4.0, QMail, Apache and FP.

This morning I did a 'tail -f /var/log/maillog' and found tons of bounce
messages going out and the following messages about incoming mail:

I cehecked control/locals and found my main server,
'midnightsun.chismtrail.com' so I added just plain 'chismtrail.com' in case
that might be the problem, even though it has been working like that just
fine in the past.  It did not help.  Now I am getting the following
messages:

There is a [EMAIL PROTECTED], in

/usr/var/vpopmail/users

qmail-default  .qmail-igy      .qmail-walter   .qmail-wvchism9 postmaster
qmail-gin      .qmail-root     .qmail-wdchism  abc             walt
qmail-iggy     .qmail-swap     .qmail-wlat     guest           webmaster


Where else can I look to find the problem?
